A E
Who's that knockin' on my door?
A E
Who's that risin' up from under the floor? I know
A E
I can hear that demon roar
A E
But I don't care, I ain't gonna hear it no more
Dsus4/A [keyboard voicing: A-D-G]
(I don't care) I paid my dues last year
(Have no fear) Now it's time that I clear out of here.
F#m
Just let you know
Dsus4/G
Before I go
Chorus:
A5 G5
Are you devil or death?
F#5 G5
You'll have to bow
A5 G5 F#5 G5
Ain't no power on earth can stop me now
A5 G5 F#5 F5
I have done all things that make it right
E A E A E [as per intro]
To keep me out of the devil's bite
Verse 2:
Heaven sent me down a sign
Things were bad but now I'm doin' fine
So you better step back 'cross that line
Now I can't see you but for one last time
(I can see) You marked my life like a scar
(So you are) But it don't take a star to go far
I'll let you on before I'm gone
[repeat chorus]
(guitar solo - must count bars, chord changes)

F# B
I knew someday you'd be along,
F# B
Swingin' your tail and singin' a dead man's song
F# B
Just when things get good you want your take, but you're wrong
D C G
'Cause I'm leaving this shell and I'm movin' on
[repeat chorus]
(solo to end - need chord at end)
